Leon Scharf, is now supplying Kan
PAS City with 1000 pounds Of fish
daily. The demand from that city
alone is 5000 pounds, but can't be
supplied from this section without
increasing the number Of fishermen.
This is a lucrative business and a
new industry which is destined to
expand and increase until it will class
AS one Of the main industries of our
town. Our young men who arc not
over.burdened with work just now
could engage in this business and
impove their finances in a manner
that would really be a surprise to
them. Let them try it and repor,
progress. This trade ought to be
fostered and encouraged, and our

The Rnilroad-Termili0n Parish

Work was commenced last Monday
on the Je%anerette, Abbeville and
Western Railroad in good earnest.
and We learn that the president,
Capt. Z. NJ. WEIGH, has contracted
for fifty thousand ties. The building
of this road will be the means Of
opening up to capitalist and the new
settler a section of country unsur,
passed in our great State. 1t will
also bring into requisition and put
into cultivation a vast territory now
lying idle, that is only awaiting the
sturdy farmer TO cultivate it. The
Tiiimes-D Democrat, IN speaking edito-
rally Of this road, says:
"The Jeanerette, Abbeville and
Western Railroad have gone to
work with a rapidity seldom evinced
in cases of this kind. 1t was bnt a
few months ago that the idea Of
such a road was first suggested; bnt
a few weeks ago that the organiza-
ton was perfected, yet the work has
already begun, the grading having
been carried forward several miles.
The money necessary for the line
can be obtained, the land owners
along its line are giving their assist
ance, and there is every reason to
hope for the early completion of the
road that will give the parish Of
Vermilion, which is rapidly filling
up with population, a railroad outlet
to market"
With a railroad from Jeancrette to
this place, which will give US direct
communication with the outside
world, we can safely predict a large
immigration tc this parish at an early
day. We repeat, then, what we have
heretofore said, that there are plenty
of good and healthy locations in
Vermllion parish, and tac percent.
age Of old people is as large as in
any part of America. Come South,
old man; come to Vermiiion parish,
settle your sons and daughters around
you, live long, die happy, and let
your grave be dug meath the ever
green magnol;as, or where the fra.
GRANGE of the orange blossom pre-
walls, and where the mocking-bird
will daily sing a requiem until time
shall be no more.
